Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
You seem to be having acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma and need to step up your treatment. Ventolin will give only short lasting relief. You need to take MDI symbicort/advair discus aling with ventolin. Also take a tablet of montair lc daily which is an anti allergic. If symptoms are still not controlled, a short course of oral steroids may be helpful. Please consult your PCP or a local pulmonologist for dosages and technique of taking inhalers.
Take care.
